How I Quit School #1

“If she were to die tomorrow, the
last place she wanted to be was at school and the last thing she
wanted to be doing was memorizing irrelevant facts. She wanted to do
what she loved, whenever she wished, and to at least live her life
fully.” And so goes the gist of 16 year
old Julie's How I Quit School, issue 1, an eloquent,
mood-evoking look at one girl's informed withdrawal from
institutionalized education. Unschooling? TheTeenage
Liberation Handbook? It's all in there as Julie makes hard
choices, resists the urge to cut herself, deals with her parents and
counselors and a ton more issues involved in such a tough transition.
